Oct 15	comment	How are the boundaries of a gene determined? @RichardSmith They are basically looking for start codons (ATG, GTG) that define the beginning of the open reading frame (ORF), and stop codons (TAG, TAA, TGA), that define the end of the ORF, and also checks whether the number of bases between the start codon and the stop codon is devisible by 3.

Jun 14	comment	Designing genes with DNAWorks: Maximum nonzero score? Can you give us more information on what you are trying to assemble (size, length of overlap, length of oligos) and how you plan to assemble it?
May 26	comment	Co-transformation of plasmids from the same incompatibility group Thanks for your answer. I actually co-transformed and I got twice as many colonies compared to a uni-transformation. I think there might me something wrong with the plates or the cells, but perhaps the co-transformation is more efficient. Which I still don't understand why would that be....
